More than 500 Amazon employees sent a letter on Wednesday to AWS CEO Matt Garman, urging the executive to reverse the company’s full return-to-office policy, Reuters reports. In September, Amazon asked employees to come back to the office five days a week starting in 2025.
The AWS CEO previously told employees that nine out of 10 workers he spoke with supported the policy, according to reports. This letter rejects the contention that the RTO policy was widely supported, saying that statistic is inconsistent with the experiences of many employees. Employees in the letter said they were “appalled” to hear Garman’s non-data driven explanation.
AWS seems to be sticking by its RTO policy. This month, Matt Garman told employees they could work somewhere else if they didn’t like coming into the office.
